It seems it's more like only very few people know 
how big the mess is, and all the info I can get 
(as almost everyone else, it seems) is in the line 
of "yes, there is a problem, but we can't tell you 
what it is - using MD5 will help, though".

I still don't think this is a responsible way 
to deal with a vulnerability that is rumored to 
affect basic internet infrastructure - seems more 
like some people who bought an advance notification 
service from some security company or router vendor 
want to see their investment pay off. 

Alex.
